Change my mind

Not my fault

"Dean don't you have to go to school today?" Mary ripped Dean out of his sleep. Fast Dean sat up and rubbed his eyes. "What time is it?" He asked his mother. "Just ten minutes after your alarm. Don't worry." Mary smiled at Dean and kissed his forehead. "Breakfast is ready." She smiled before she left the room. Seemed like Dean missed his alarm but luckily he had his mother.
The night was the worst for Dean. His head was filled with many thoughts that left him sleepless. He felt extremely numb and at the same time hurt. Dean wanted to text Castiel back, but he didn't want to bother him and he didn't want to talk about his problems the same day he found Castiel again.
His wardrobe didn't leave him much choice on what to wear cause he only had like five shirts and two pair of pants. A white shirt, showing his muscles and his jeans it would be for today. He took his clothes and walked into the bathroom. Dean took a speed shower and got dressed afterwards. Then he styled his hair and inspected his face in the mirror, to see if there was anything to see of his father's punch last night. Lucky there was nothing to see.

So When Dean was ready he walked downstairs to see his mother and Sam already eating breakfast. John was nowhere to be seen. "He's gone." Mary told as if she read Dean's thoughts. "Alright." He only nodded and sat down in front of Sam. Slowly he ate his breakfast until the door bell rang. He almost forgot that Castiel was bringing the twins over. "I'll open the door." Dean instantly stood up, making Mary sit down again. He walked up to the door and opened it, facing a Castiel with a two seat buggy in front of him. "I'll help you." Dean told and picked up one side of the buggy to get it into the house. After Castiel entered, he closed the door. "Would you take Luci?" Cas asked while taking out one of the twins. Good, cause Dean did not know who Luci was. While picking up the other twin he nodded and walked into the kitchen. "Hello Mrs. Winchester." Castiel greeted Mary politely. "Didn't we say, that you can call me Mary?" She smiled walking over to Dean and Cas. "Aw look at you cute little boys." A wide smile formed on his mother's face. It has been a long time since Dean actually saw Mary smiling like that. "Is there anything I have to take care of while looking out for them?" She asked while, she took the baby that was on Dean's arm. "No, they're actually really nice, when they're not at home. This little guy here is Michael and the one you're holding is Lucifer but you can call him Luci." Castiel explained. "Sammy will you take Michael? I need to talk to Cas." Dean asked while looking at his little brother who had just finished eating. "Yeah." He replied. Sam knew what Dean had to tell him. So Sam took Michael out of Cas' arms and Dean showed Cas to follow him.
He closed the door after Castiel entered cause he didn't want his mother to hear. "What's wrong Dean? Are you okay?" Castiel voice was full of concern.

"Don't freak out please. Claire is ... dead." Dean's head faced the ground.

"Claire is what?!" Suddenly there was anger in Castiel's voice and he picked Dean by his shirt pushing and pressing him against a wall. "What the hell did you do?! Do you know what this means?!" Cas nearly yelled.

"It wasn't my f-fault.. I swear.." Dean stuttered. He couldn't get an explanation out. Castiel's mad side influenced him way too much.

"Whose fault is it then?! You had to take care of her!" Now Castiel yelled and in the next moment Sam entered Dean's room.

"Castiel it really wasn't Dean's fault. Claire started crying, like babies do and our father stormed in. He got really angry and smashed her against the wall and... and nothing. But it really wasn't Dean's fault." Sam was calm after all. It was probably the best decision anyways. Yelling at Cas wouldn't have made things better. Slowly Cas let go off Dean and looked straight into his eyes. "Did he hurt you?" His voice was honest. As if he knew what was going on. "What? Uh.. no." Dean tried to play it cool. It didn't really seem as if Cas believed him but he didn't keep on asking him.

"Let's go to school. I'll drive us." Dean said and took his backpack where he put Claire and his other stuff in.

******************************************************************

Sam already knew where their conversation would be going. He knew Castiel was going to rage cause Gabriel told him the story of why he wanted the doll to be called Claire and it was nearly heartbreaking. Luckily he convinced Castiel that it really wasn't Dean's fault but he nearly told him that his father punched him.
Together they walked downstairs. Sam and Dean gave Mary a kiss on her cheek and Cas said goodbye to his little brothers.

"Is Gabriel in school already?" Sam asked, destroying the silence that filled Dean's impala. "He should be." Castiel answered. Luckily it didn't take that long anymore to school and soon after Dean parked the impala. He told Sam to be there when school was over and to bring Gabriel with him.
So Sam made his way over the campus into his classroom. Luckily Gabriel was already sitting there. "Hey." Sam smiled while getting onto his seat. "Heya Samsquatch." Gabriel grinned widely while chewing some candy. Sam couldn't remember a time when he didn't eat candy except in class. Sam only rolled his eyes. "You won't believe what happened." He then reported.

"Waddup?" Gabriel swallowed his candy and then took his bottle of water to drink something.

"Our Dad broke Claire last night." Sam told. With that Gabriel almost spit out his water.

"Does Cassie know?" He asked immediately. Sam only nodded as an answer. "It didn't go well, did it?" Gabriel continued.

"Well let's say it would've gotten worst if I didn't step in." Sam spoke and then the teacher started the class.
The day has gone by pretty good. Lilith didn't say anything to Sam, what was also good. And with Gabriel by his side, he knew it could only get better.

"We're both going to our teacher now and tell him about it, don't you dare hide away from that." Castiel ordered pulling Dean towards the biology room, where their teacher was already preparing stuff for his next class. Castiel gently knocked at the door and entered. "Excuse us sir. We've got a problem." Castiel spoke. Mr. Graham turned to face both of them. "Talk." He said and Castiel already started feeling uncomfortable. "Our doll broke by an accident and we-" Dean pulled out the doll but Castiel was interrupted while talking.

"You killed the baby and no you're not getting another chance you're getting an F. Congratulations on not making it even a day." Mr. Graham took away the doll and Castiel was ready to leave but Dean obviously wasn't.

"Listen. I messed this up but he should at least get another chance. He has two baby brothers and he cares about them more than anything. He really can take responsibility for things like this. It was my fault that the doll broke, it's okay if I don't get another chance but please let him try." Dean almost begged the teacher. It was quite cute. "Fine. Mr. Novak, you get the task to film a day in your life, taking care of your little brothers. I will grade this. Next Monday you have to present it. Winchester, for you it's an F. Now if you'd excuse me I got work to do." Mr. Graham said and both, Cas and Dean left. "Thank you, Dean." Castiel hugged him when they left the room. "But I don't know how I should do this. My siblings probably won't help out." Cas sighed. "Don't worry about it. I will help you." Dean gave him a warm smile and they walked to their next lesson they also had together. Maths. "Cas? Why was it so important for you to name the baby Claire though?" Dean asked.

Right in the moment Castiel stopped walking and just stared forward. Everything went through his mind. "We'll have to skip class for that." Was the only thing Cas said before he left the school building.
